As delicious as butter is, the high fat content makes it unhealthy to consume all the time. Typical substitutions for butter include cooking and flavouring oils. Olive oil, which contains monounsaturated fat, is healthier than butter, as it can lower your cholesterol levels, according to MayoClinic.com. Olive oil has its own distinct flavour, but if you are craving the flavour of butter, you can make a butter-flavoured olive-oil mixture as a flavouring oil for some of your favourite foods. Drizzle the oil over pasta, steak and popcorn.
